Stephen Curry in 2013?

I was just reading an article and they were talking about Curry becoming a free agent in 2013. Could you see Curry wanting to come to his hometown to help become a building block for the Cats?

It's also questionable whether such a player would be quick to join a team so seemingly far from contending for a championship. Jordan said in the preseason he'd love to find that rare player who would throw Charlotte's hopes on his back the way Jordan once did in Chicago. Elite players of late seem more concerned with migrating to teams already packed with talent.

The 2012 free-agent class could include Orlando center Dwight Howard and New Jersey point guard Deron Williams, both perennial All-Stars (although it's hard to imagine either coming to Charlotte). The Bobcats could also bank their cap room until the summer of 2013, when players such as Charlottean Stephen Curry (Golden State) could hit the market.

That would really be great! He is a down to earth kid, he doesn't seem to be a typical spoiled ass NBA player. I could see him coming here...

Because this isnt a winning team. He already plays for a losing team. If he were to make a move, it'd be laterally. I dont think the Bobcats can expect to draw any big name FAs unless a miracle occurs and they overpay. It just isnt realistic at this point. Our "star" will come via the draft.

    • With all the money invested in the offensive line, we really need to hit on some Round 1-3 picks.  We could really use a star receiver or pass rusher on a rookie contract for a few years.
    • I understand everyone being happy but let's try not to turn it into another schoolgirl crush festival. No offense. It isn't slower WRs that cause wild overthrows. They have all kinds of practice. It is his mechanics keeping things under control that allows a more efficient conversion of energy, let's call it, into the throw, that we are seeing.  He was doing it with horrible mechanics and needing to put 100% effort to get the ball that far. That totally fugs your accuracy. There is video of Mahomes and Carr on this site that I have linked with them throwing under control vs all out trying to get the most velocity on a radar gun. It shows exactly what I am saying. I didn't make it up. I have been telling y'all for a year at least. It really is all about the margins with Young and he has to be very attentive to his technique to get the most from what he has. He is doing that now and this is the new 'what he can do'. And this is it, there ain't no more. You decide if that's enough for you I guess. But you are noticing better ball flight and zip I am pretty sure, it comes from there. Again go look at the Buffalo drive in preseason and you will see that same thing you see lately. To do that stuff you have to be willing to stand tall come what may, sometimes. Hopefully you have protection to step up safely but the difference making happens when you stand in there and finish just ahead of a hit.  ..... And btw, the straw that broke the camel's back when Tepper fired Reich, was because he couldn't fix it in a week. One of the last issues that I remember was about Young's footwork. You know, I guess it is normal that 10 weeks into the season someone just realized, or finally accepted, that Young had major fundamentals issues. It took them a lot longer to realize it isn't an overnight fix. And my issues with Young were specifically over this stuff. Major rehab job, you don't pay what we paid for that. Hopefully he is 'fixed' and it 'took' and he doesn't go back into his little safe space of the old mechanics like he did week 1. If he hangs with the new, this is what you are working wth now. We just saw his ceiling. 
    • i'm not nearly 100%, but i'm trending that way. He's definitely got me around 75%.
